It resonates with me deeply. I struggle to know my place in the world still – I’m 38. Inflicting pain over a helpless child as a mother then denying it, is so very confusing. Many of us, living with a mother wound, gaslighting ourselves unconsciously. I thought I had stopped doing that but your article reminded me that I might still be doing it on an autopilot. I really liked your metaphor of the bent trees on the stormy beachfront in Hawaii. Loving ourselves and loving life after prolonged trauma feels almost counterintuitive. I want to redefine my place in the world. The world is not always welcoming though either…
